The Ultimate Guide to Carnival Breeze ®

By Carnival Cruise Line

Is there a better place to relax than aboard a cruise ship ? We don’t think so! Step aboard Carnival Breeze ® for a cruise to the Caribbean or the pink-sand beaches of Bermuda , and you’ll leave all your cares to embrace food, fun and adventure on the high seas.

Carnival Breeze ® is the ultimate family cruise ship , since it’s packed with pools and play areas for kids. Looking for adults-only relaxation? No worries – we’ve got plenty of spaces for grown-ups to unwind as well. Carnival Breeze ® sails from Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral , so Floridians — and everyone else, for that matter! — have options when it comes to booking that cruise vacation.

To whet your appetite for the good life, take a look at some of the best that Carnival Breeze ® has to offer on your cruise to the Caribbean.

Outdoor Cruising Fun

As you set sail, half the fun is keeping an eye on the ocean and enjoying the sea breezes as your ship heads toward paradise. Of course you can always snag a lounge chair by the pool and sip a drink, but for adventure seekers, there’s plenty to keep you occupied while you’re out on deck.

Love to swim? We’ve kicked the pool up a notch at WaterWorks , our on-board water park that features plenty of fast, twisty waterslides and the PowerDrencher to dump water on swimmers.

If you prefer to stay dry, the ropes course  is situated high above deck, so you can feel like you’re soaring above the sea as you challenge yourself to climb and balance your way through the obstacles.

For boots-on-the-ground fun, check out SportSquare ™ , our gaming area. Here you’ll find volleyball, basketball, foosball, billiards, your favorite gym machines and more – including a family-friendly mini golf course.

For some child-free relaxation, head to the aptly named Serenity Adults-Only Retreat ™ . Double-wide lounge sofas are perfect for couples, and you can sip a drink from the bar, read a book or just stare at the sea while you enjoy the peace and quiet.

Indoor Cruising Fun

When you need a break from all that fresh air and sunshine, there’s also plenty to do indoors. Head to Lip Sync Battle ™ : Carnival to give the performance of your life. We provide the music, lighting and props to help you make the most of your big moment.

Not a fan of the spotlight? You can enjoy all of our shows as an audience member, including stand-up comedy at the Punchliner Comedy Club and live theatrical performances at Playlist Productions ™ . There’s something to see every night, so make sure to plan accordingly!

Of course, no cruise ship would be complete without a comprehensive on-board Casino , and Carnival Breeze ® does not disappoint. Enjoy slots, blackjack and all your favorite table games. Maybe you’ll get rich!

After all the good times, you can be forgiven if you need a break from the action. There’s no better place to rest than at Cloud 9 Spa ™ , where you can indulge in a massage, facial body wrap and more. Bliss!

Delicious Cruise Dining

There’s no dining like Carnival Breeze cruise dining , and we make sure you get all your favorite cuisine during your trip. Here’s just a glimpse of what you can look forward to:

• Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse : Smoked pork, creamy mac and cheese, collard greens — when the mood for Southern barbecue strikes, head to Guy’s Pig & Anchor for the best smokehouse on the ocean blue.
• Bonsai Sushi : If the sight of miles of pristine sea has you thinking about seafood, you’ve come to the right place! Bonsai Sushi has all your favorites, plus soups, sides and sake.
• Cucina del Capitano ® : This is the place to enjoy a fine Italian meal onboard the ship. Family-style service makes it a great choice for families and groups who want to be able to taste it all.
• Seafood Shack : Love lobster? Craving a clambake? Get a taste of summer in New England when you order a basketful of seafood goodies.
• Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse : Calling all carnivores and wine lovers! Your high-end steakhouse experience awaits. Make reservations for this most luxurious of dining spots so you don’t miss out.

What would an evening onboard the ship be without some adult beverages to sip on? No matter what your style, Carnival Breeze ® has a watering hole that’s just right for you:

• RedFrog Pub ™ : Live music, Caribbean-inspired pub grub and fantastic brews make this pub a place to settle into for the night — or a long afternoon.
• Piano Bar : Grab a drink, pull up a chair and let the piano man know what you want to hear. This sing-along bar is perfect for getting to know your shipmates and for belting out tunes into the wee hours.
• RedFrog Rum Bar ™ :  What could make the RedFrog Pub ™ better? Sea breezes and a sparkling swimming pool! We added a poolside version of the RedFrog Pub ™ so you can enjoy island flavor outdoors, too.
• Alchemy Bar ™ : Attention mixology fans! We’ve found some adventurous bartenders to whip up truly original cocktails for you to sample. You can order up something truly unique from the menu, or ask for a custom drink based on your mood.
• BlueIguana Tequila Bar ™ : ¡Viva México! Grab your frozen margarita or icy Mexican beer near the pool to chill out before or after that siesta.

Feeling inspired by all the fun? Book your cruise vacation aboard Carnival Breeze ® .

When The Cat's Away perform their '80s anthem 'Melting Pot' live

As iconic New Zealand band, When The Cat's Away, gears up for their highly anticipated tour, fans are in for a treat.

Recently, the Cats joined us at The Breeze for an exclusive live performance of "Melting Pot," offering a rare opportunity for us all to relive the magic of their 80s anthem. The energy and passion (and hilarity behind the scenes) poured into this rendition make it sound just as good as it did all those years ago.

The band also sat down for a conversation with Robert Scott, sharing cherished memories from their heyday in the 80s and 90s. They also delved into the deep bonds that have kept them together over the years, highlighting the unique strengths each member brings to the group.

The reunion of When The Cat's Away's original lineup in 2023 marked a significant moment, coming together after 33 years to honour their late friend and former bandmate, Margaret Urlich. The overwhelming reception they received during their emotional tribute concert at Auckland Town Hall spurred them to embark on a tour, ensuring more fans across Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch don't miss out . Adding to this special tour, they will be joined by the legendary taonga, HERBS.

Don't miss your chance to be part of this extraordinary celebration of music, friendship, and legacy.

Join When The Cat's Away on their tour and immerse yourself in the magic that continues to captivate audiences across generations.

Breeze Airways adds new destinations as it celebrates 3rd birthday

(WFSB) - Breeze Airways will celebrate the company’s third birthday in May 2024. Breeze offered time to interview the CEO and founder, David Neeleman, in celebration of the birthday.

Neeleman did the interview from one of Breeze’s new Airbus A220 planes. Since Breeze first started flying out of Bradley in May 2021, the company says it has flown more than 500,000 guests in-and-out of Hartford.

Next month they are introducing 5 new seasonal destinations out of Bradley: Cincinnati, Myrtle Beach, New Burn, Greenville/Spartanburg and Orlando.

With news about staffing concerns across the industry, we asked Neeleman if Breeze is prepared for the busy summer season.

“We have a large pilot group. We have flight attendants that are based in Hartford. We have hundreds of people that are applying, trying to get a job with breeze. The pilot situation has gotten much better in the industry. It’s more an aircraft delivery issue: especially on the Boeing side, which is slowing things down. We’re really in great shape,” said Neeleman.

The I-Team has received several complaints about Breeze’s customer service. Better Business Bureau has received 134 complaints in the last year and gives Breeze an F rating.

Many of the complaints have to do with the fact that there is no customer service line for Breeze. If something goes wrong with your flight or your luggage, you have to email or message someone from their customer service team. There is not a phone number to call.

The CEO says he believes it’s more efficient that way and says their customer surveys come back with high ratings.

“Sometimes it’s a little strange that you have to message instead of pick up the phone and call, but if you really want to talk to someone, we’ll call you. Our customers get used to that. It’s really much more efficient for our customers and ourselves. Who really makes phone calls nowadays and waits on hold for 1-800. It’s better just to message them. Our people get right back to you and take care of it, so it’s a much better way to do business,” said Neeleman.

Music + concerts, music + concerts | bruce springsteen dazzles in a marathon 3 hour and 20 minute show at the kia forum on thursday.

Bruce Springsteen has talked of life and mortality as themes of the world tour that he and the E Street Band kicked off a year ago, and in the setlist Thursday, April 4 for the first of two shows at the Kia Forum there were plenty of of songs that reflected those feelings.

But at the end of the night, after 32 songs over three hours and 20 minutes, it’s the living that shined brightest through his time on stage, and the joy — of Springsteen, his band, and fans alike — that lingered after the final notes faded.

It’s been eight years since Springsteen last played Southern California . His long run on Broadway took a few years. The pandemic claimed a few more. And then, when he was scheduled to stop here in December, peptic ulcer disease forced the postponement of the Forum shows, and left Springsteen worried whether he’d ever sing again.

Any doubts about his vim and vigor vanished quickly in a show that ran a half hour longer than most on this tour,  which saw Springsteen at 74 as impossibly energized as ever.

“Boom Boom” opened the show with a bang, the bluesy John Lee Hooker cover getting Springsteen and the 17 members of his band revved up for the night to come. Two songs later, the opening notes of “Prove It All Night” got a roar from the crowd for the fan favorite off “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” and from that point, the songs flowed one after another, separated only by Springsteen counting off the tempo before each new number.

The E Street Band remains one of the great bands in rock history, with guitarist Steven Van Zandt, bassist Gerry Tallent, pianist Roy Bittan, and drummer Max Weinberg going back 50 years or so with the Boss. Guitarist Nils Lofgren and singer-guitarist Patti Scialfa, Springsteen’s wife, are the new kids with only 40 years in the band.

Their tight, intuitive playing sets the base for Springsteen to go where he likes. Slow it down for “Trapped.” No problem. Pick up the pace on “Two Hearts”? Van Zandt joins Springsteen on a shared microphone, singing harmonies, their faces inches apart, as they have for half a century.

After “The Promised Land,” the second of three “Darkness” tracks in the show, Springsteen announced Scialfa was in the house, and brought her out to sing a pair of songs with him. “Tougher Than the Rest,” a slow-burning romance, saw them harmonizing closely as Springsteen shifted from a low solo on his blonde Telecaster to harmonica for the finish. “Fire” was playful, fun, and a little bit sexy, Springsteen and Scialfa clearly having a blast with the number.

Each night on tour Springsteen plucks a sign from the audience to play an unexpected request. On Thursday, that arrived on the stage in the form of a white bedsheet spray-painted with black letters so hard to read Springsteen made a joke about it. The song, “Jole Blon,” was gorgeous, a Cajun-inflected traditional number that featured Soozie Tyrell on fiddle and Charles Giordano on accordian.

While “Born To Run” provided the most songs in the show with five — we’ll be getting to those soon, be patient! — the oldest songs often prompted the biggest responses from the crowd. “Spirit in the Night,” from Springsteen’s 1973 debut, “Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.” was the first show-stopper of the night, its jazzy R&B giving Springsteen and the band, including saxophonist Jake Clemons, a chance to stretch and vamp a little.

“My City of Ruins,” from “The Rising,” shifted from the ecstasy of “Spirit” to a slower gospel soul, with Springsteen testifying most directly on thoughts of mortality.

“I know there’s a lot of us out there that are missing somebody special,” he said during a mid-song break to address the crowd. “Now I don’t know where we go when all of this is over. I just know what remains. And the only thing we can guarantee tonight is that if you’re here, and we’re here, then those that we are missing are here with us tonight.”

Two songs later, he finished the somber midpart of the show with a mostly solo acoustic guitar performance of “Last Man Standing,” a song inspired by the death of the last member of his first teenage band. “Death brings a certain clarity of mind,” Springsteen said by way of introduction. “And grieving is the price we pay for love.”

At that point, barely halfway through the show, things shifted toward the light and the living. “Backstreets,” from “Born To Run,” still has a melancholy feel, but its protagonist lives with his memories of young love and the places they used to travel, with Bittan’s piano part the secret sauce to its beauty.

“Because The Night,” which Springsteen gave to Patti Smith to record in the late ’70s, was reclaimed as a hard rocker that wrapped up with glorious guitar solo from Lofgren. “She’s The One” walloped its Bo Diddley beat in a primal rock ‘n’ roll rhythm.

The main set climaxed with “Badlands,” a Springsteen classic from the ’70s about a restless young man with dreams bigger than his life, and “Thunder Road,” one of his greatest numbers, which opened with the crowd singing loudly on the slow first verse before Springsteen and the band launched it to a huge finish.

At this point we’ve reached the encore, which Springsteen fans know means another 50 minutes of music, with one hit dropped after another.

After “Land of Hope and Dreams” opened it up, “Born To Run,” symphonic rock ‘n’roll hymn, exploded from the stage, the arena lights up now for fans to sing along. “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight),” another early favorite, remains a joyful song of desire, and a chance for Springsteen and the band to take flight into extended versions. Here it wrapped up with Springsteen, Van Zandt, Lofgren, Tyrell and Clemons dancing and goofing at the end of a short ramp into the pit.

“Dancing In The Dark” is one of the sweetest simple pop songs that Springsteen’s ever written. “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” saw him circle the pit, singing from a ramp at its edge to the fans in the floor seats. And “Twist and Shout” was a rock and roll party.

The 17 musicians walked off the stage then, with Springsteen giving them a pat on the back or handshake, telling them “good job” as if they were punching out at the end of a shift at the factory. He is the Boss, and he’s a good boss, too.

Then, one last encore, solo on stage with his acoustic guitar, singing “I’ll See You In My Dreams.” Or maybe on Sunday night, when he returns to the Kia Forum, as full of life as ever he was.

Aerosmith announced new tour dates on April 10, and the "Peace Out" tour, featuring The Black Crowes, will rock the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Jan. 16, 2025, towards the end of tour dates. The tour begins on Sept. 20 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and concludes on Feb. 26, 2025, in Buffalo, New York.

"To our fans: Unfortunately, Steven’s vocal injury is more serious than initially thought. His doctor has confirmed that in addition to the damage to his vocal cords, he fractured his larynx which requires ongoing care. He is receiving the best medical treatment available to ensure his recovery is swift, but given the nature of a fracture, he is being told patience is essential," according to the caption.
